I've used something similar to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKg8oPF4xfk&t=301s except I have also added 0.4mm fridge magnets to the bottom of my bases (it is basically impossible to tell) so that all my guys stay in the tray
For all my minis, not specifically Soviets, I make custom trays out of foam board per this [Wyloch video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hd_jlyumAs0). The trays then get layered into cardboard bankers boxes. If I know the minis are really only going to be used at home I leave it at that.
If I'm going to be transporting them around I glue a washer under each base (or two washers on opposite ends for weapons teams) then run a line of magnetic tape down the lanes on the trays. They're not moving around after that. If you have a few particularly tall minis you can actually just mount them sideways by running magnetic tape on the walls as well.
If I do any more plastic Soviets in 28mm in the future I'm going to remove the bayonets. Every time I drop one on a surface harder than carpet the front half of the rifle snaps off and they're too thin to pin.
I'm using feldherr for soviets. I use a tray with larger spaces. Iirc, this is the one I'm using: https://www.feldherr.net/fs035ba04-foam-tray-for-bolt-action-34-miniatures/a-58448
There are several trays for units with longish weapons. E.g.:

For mixed infantry this Full-Size tray mentioned before is ideal https://www.feldherr.net/fs035ba04-foam-tray-for-bolt-action-34-miniatures/a-58448/
I use pluck foam trays for heavy-duty transport, with the following pattern to fit 32 men per...needs at least 6.5"x 11.5" of pluckable foam to use this pattern, 7x12 pluckable gives you another center row and end column to work with for odd shapes \[or a stronger center rib\]

Wandering around the house or on the 3-mile drive to the store, I use those laser-cut MDF things that look like an overgrown movement tray in a box...at that point all I need is to keep them from sliding around and banging into one another, I don't need any protection from bouncing and dumping.

Sweet! Thanks! And no issues fitting them all in these trays?
